“Seriously, Send Help”: 42 Inconveniences That Are Mild Yet Very Infuriating

I never want to be the jerk who honks, but they don’t hear/notice me until I’m right up to them. Just trying to go to work.

I used to visit weekly and keep up their gravesite, but 30 years and compartmentalizing heals the need to revisit the pain, until some jerk chose stealing copper over being a decent human.

Mine is half useless at this point, while Grandma's is still going strong.

These are my work pants, the pants I use for my job. What is the point of not having pockets on my Work pants?

We were packing for our family trip to Jamaica, and I heard my wife scream upstairs. She just tells me, “I’m not going to Jamaica,” and shows me her passport. Only the main page shown is torn. Nothing else. (The image depicted is after she tried taping it back together.) She dropped it on the bed for a second, and the dog got to it. And she is normally not destructive like that, but despite how annoyed we were, we couldn’t blame her.

After reality had sunk in, I hopped on a call with a passport department inquiring about an emergency passport. They apparently only give them out if there is a tragedy in the family, etc. They searched for appointments nearby, and the only one on the East Coast was in Buffalo, NY, at 8 am the following day. So we changed my wife’s flight and sent her tour to Buffalo, and got her a 10:45 am flight out from Buffalo to Orlando, then to Jamaica, hoping that it would work.

They don’t guarantee that you will get it the same day, but the reviews for the location were surprisingly positive, so we were hopeful. She shows up an hour early, is first in line, and they tell her they can get it the same day, but won’t start printing passports till 10 am. The manager came out and told my wife she should probably change her flight because he can’t guarantee that she will get it in time for the 10:45 flight.

She comes back around 10, sits right, and the woman at the front desk gives a friendly wink to my wife. At 10:15, the manager tells my wife’s passport is printing. Around 10:20-10:25, they hand it to her and she hits the find driver button on the uber app. She gets picked up and takes the 15-minute ride to the airport. The uber driver told her he’s driven MANY people who flew from out of state to Buffalo for a same day passport, and he believed she could make it. Well, she did. Boarding got delayed, but she made it with like 10 minutes to spare and arrived in Jamaica only 3 hours after we did.
It was beyond exhausting!

My 11-year-old daughter's teacher wrote this comment on her homework. I'm absolutely flabbergasted and angry. This is after my daughter just competed in gymnastics nationals a month ago.

Just gonna take the opportunity to buy a new knife. My "clean" dishes are all dirty with fingerprints and smudges, too. The fridge front is smeared with greasy handprints. Just a few more days...

Environmental Science, climate change unit. But we're in Alabama, so we do everything we can to avoid actually talking about it.

Please don't tell me they're not pulling the "If they don't bring the money to you, they didn't clean under the rug. If the money is gone, they stole from you" test.

For context, my (step)nephew is my (step)brother’s kid. My nephew and his mother don’t live here anymore, so they come over for a few hours on holidays and weekends.
On Christmas Day, I had opened all of my presents and gotten two CDs (KISS and Weezer) and a nice glass CD storage rack that my mom says was approximately $30. I have 23 CDs, including my new ones, and was sitting in the living room with my mom while I put my CDs into the storage rack. My nephew came over to get gifts from his grandma (my step-mom / my mom’s girlfriend) and my mom, as she had gotten him a gift too. I still had all my presents out in the living room since I didn’t want to put them away yet.
While he was over, he had gotten upset because I had gotten a lot more presents than him (he got a second Nintendo Switch [broke his first one and a $500 drone, so he genuinely had nothing to be jealous of). He started to throw a tantrum, and so his mom tried to explain that he had gotten a lot more gifts at home and a lot more expensive gifts than me. He didn’t seem to care because he ended up grabbing my CD rack and throwing it on the ground, shattering the CD rack and breaking four of my CDs, including one of my new ones.

The two in the picture were the two that thankfully only had broken cases. Mom says the KISS CD was $25. The Linkin Park one was only about $8 because I got it from McKays (kinda like a thrift store for books and video games–they only have like 5 locations, so I don’t think many people would know what it is). The two others were $20 CDs that were snapped in half. There were 3 other ones that had small cracks in their cases, but they still work perfectly fine. I think in total he did ~$100 of damage. I know that’s not really a lot of money but I’m 15 and paid for a lot of my CDs myself with money I made from cleaning and walking dogs so in my mind that’s like 3 bedrooms cleanings and 2 dog walks.

I obviously ended up crying because he broke my two favorite CDs, and my moms kicked him and his mom out. His mom says that I’m being dramatic and that he shouldn’t be getting in trouble for breaking some “cheap CDs”. She also tried to pull the “he’s only ten” card, which annoyed me so bad because no 10-year-old should still be throwing tantrums.

I work at a thrift store and we had about 10 paintings coming in all really beautifully done, the frames where also very neat. I fell in love with this one in the photo but someone else had to price it before i could buy it so i ended up waiting until the end of the day to see if they got priced yet. My workday was almost over so i decided to walk to the back to see if the painting was priced yet and lo and behold, 10 painting in the trashcan. And not just in the trash can, my coworker stabbed them with a scissor. She smashed up the frames from the other paintings too and did the same to the art. I asked her why she did that and she just said "they never sell in store" while ive seen plenty of painting leaving the store for good prices and if we cant sell them we always end up using them for our own creative projects.

I of course went to my supervisor and he said he would have a word with her but i was absolutely furious, i cant stop looking at the painting and how beautiful it was. I also feel bad for the person/artist that donated the paintings thinking they would get a loving new home.

Am I wrong for being annoyed?? She’s not a child; she’s in her 30s, and conversations go in one ear and out the other.

I was flying with my sister and niece, and we paid €30 each for extra legroom seats. Seemed worth it for a 4-hour flight… until a dad and his two kids decided that the emergency door window right next to us was the most fascinating thing they’d ever seen.

They stood there almost the entire flight, leaning over us, pointing, chatting loudly, and completely blocking the space we paid extra for. We had to call the flight attendant 3 times to get them to move, but they just kept coming back after a few minutes.

The third time the FA came to tell them to sit down, she was already annoyed and warned them this would be the last time she told them to move. Sometimes I wish Europe were as strict as the US with the no fly lists.

Who steals a single tire? My car isn't even that nice. So much for having the day off, huh?

If people could see only my right eye, they would often think I'm crying.

Besides the fact that they are broken I actually had to hunt down the pieces because they played with it I think and my aunt gave less than "Oh sorry"

I have a little stero nook in the front room where I have a record shelf with my record player and I came home from work to the record in question looking like someone attempted to pry it out from behind the shelf and lo and behold. Broken.

Limited edition, a gift and even still in the plastic. A few other records were messed up but not to this degree and this one hurt the most. But "they're just kids" and "Things happen" and "You shouldn't get this worked up"

I’m so heartbroken. I was so annoyed that I was holding back tears. They were only supposed to trim and shape the tree. They cut the branches off the whole thing.

They cut a massive hole through our chain link fencing and left.

Why in the hell would they put these 3 buttons together?

I usually get my Bojangles Supremes fully cooked, but I guess they're switching things up at my local restaurant. Unfortunately, I ate one that wasn't as bad as these. I went to have a second one, but decided to open it since I thought it felt dense because of a tendon or something. Nope.

Moved to a new place a year ago. When I settled, my parents visited me and since I had nothing mine yet, my mom went to the supermarket and bought me a wok. It’s not very expensive, but it was a gift.

I came back two days ago after being away for a couple of months. Today, I wanted to cook something, and that is how I found my wok.
Nobody told me anything, nor apologised. Nothing. How do you even ruin it that bad in just two months?

And as a side note, they never clean after themself when they’re done cooking, there’s food on the bench. I’m tired.

My roommate works as a bartender, so he gets loads of $1 bills. He usually keeps the bigger bills, and pays rent with the 1s.
I’ve told him various times to please change the bills before paying, but he takes it as a joke. At first it kinda was, but now it’s just annoying.
He’s also late on his rent payment for January… only paid $200/500 because he has an upcoming birthday trip to Colombia.

Guess which word the stylist claims she didn't hear.
At least they made sure it was all even and didn't charge anything.
It could be a lot worse, but it still...

So my dog got a lump on her back that they thought could be cancer. When the vet went to do a biopsy, they found a foreign body in the lump. Turns out this piece of grass had penetrated her skin and caused an abscess. Cost £1700 with the bloods, operation, and meds. But at least she doesn't have cancer, so I'm skint but happy.

There isn't room for my granny cart.

My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my gmail account. Because he signed up for Priceline, with the login with gmail button.

I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.

Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.

This was basically how the entire theater was looking, the poor employees had 30 minutes to clean the entire thing before another Minecraft movie started in that same room. The popcorn was stamped into the carpet in some spots. I can’t imagine they get paid enough for this.

Drove 70 miles down the interstate before I noticed my windshield wipers were smearing something all over my windshield. Pulled over, and this is why. I'm not angry or anything, and I know people have off days at times, but dang, this isn't a good mistake.

I have only myself to blame.

Truth is, it is a cat fort I built that I repurposed for a laptop mount 10 min before the meeting, hence why I can only be mad at myself.

Went out to dinner with family tonight for my birthday out of nowhere the restaurant speakers starts absolutely blasting with ye olde happy birthday song. Someone appears behind me with a plate with a candle, already mortified cause they're playing the song so absurdly loud they place the plate infront of me, and it's got literally nothing on it, just a candle, then the song ends and they went back to the kitchen or whatever, then 5 minutes later someone comes out and takes the plate and candle away and that was it.

He was angry about having to stop playing Minecraft and go to bed. He seems genuinely remorseful, so I just need a minute to control my shock and frustration and have a heart-to-heart about responsibility and how to deal with anger.
